Transforming Lives

Leaving a Legacy Why is this meeting important? Who could tell a five minutes story about power of education, particularly CVUSD education to advance their life?

Big Changes in Education Funding and Planning In 2013, California adopted a new formula for deciding how much state money each school district receives, called the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Funding is more influenced by the numbers of needy students and far less on state mandates – thus the focus on Local Control Districts control how to use the funds, but must get input from their local communities about how to address student needs. Districts must also tie their budgets to improvement goals by creating a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).

Collaborative Planning Will Address Eight State Priorities Districts must engage parents, educators, students, employees and the community to establish district plans. The plans will describe the district’s overall vision (expectations) for students, annual goals, and specific actions the district will take to achieve the vision and goals. The LCAPs must focus on eight areas identified as State Priorities. The plans must also demonstrate how the district’s budget will help achieve the goals, and assess each year how well the strategies in the plan were able to improve student outcomes.
